Continuous In-Tank Leak Detection (Important Details!)

Continuous In-Tank Leak Detection (Important Details!) Continuous In-Tank Leak Detection In 2015, Continuous In-Tank Leak Detection [CITLD] was added as a release detection method through a Federal Underground Storage Tank [UST] Regulation. The regulation also establishes requirements for CITLDs operation and maintenance.

Any and all methods based in statistics where measurements are gathered incrementally by a system on an uninterrupted basis to determine the leak status of a tank. Compliance with Regulation CITLD Methods Can Be Employed for Tanks Installed Before or On April 11, 2016 Measurements are Gathered Incrementally Within a 30-Day Monitoring Period Release Detection Methods There Are Two [2] Major Groups: Continual Reconciliation Continuous Statistical Release Detection [Continuous Automatic Tank Gauging or ATG] * Inventory Measurements are Obtained Through Permanently Installed Sensors in the Tank by Both Groups A Microprocessor or Other Control Console is Used to Process Data in the ATG System Dispensing Meters Which Allow for Automatic Recording and Use of Dispensing Data are Employed in the Continual Reconciliation Method Requirements of Regulation CITLD must be able to detect a leak at least 0.2 gallon per hour with a probability of detection of at least 95 percent and a probability of false alarm of no more than 5 percent. CITLD must be able to detect a leak at least 0.2 gallon per hour with a probability of detection of at least 95 percent and a probability of false alarm of no more than 5 percent. Click To Tweet The following must be performed on release detection equipment annually: Verification of the controllers system configuration Testing of alarm operability and battery backup Inspection of probes and sensors to detect possible residual build-up Inspections to ensure cables are break- and kink- free, shaft is undamaged, and floats are moving freely Recording of all these tests for a minimum of three [3] years Leak Detection with 360Training.com Learn More About Leak Detection with 360Training.com Sign Up for the Illinois UST Class A/B Operator Training Course Designed for Operators to Teach Them How to Manage On-Site Operations and Maintain a UST Facility Sources https://www.epa.gov/sites/production/files/2016-05/documents/stot_5-2-16_final_508.pdf
